So what is it? Asthmatic bronchitis is a condition in which the bronchioles are easily inflamed by allergens from the environment. The bronchioles are tubes that branch from the trachea; they are two in number and enter into each of the lung. When inflamed, they cause difficulty in breathing.
Symptoms
Some of the symptoms of asthma are common among other respiratory diseases. However, asthmatic bronchitis is easier to identify since its symptoms are observed from an early age; it is often inherited. Consequently, one of the easiest way to diagnose it, is using family history.
Asthma symptoms include difficulty in breath as during an attack the bronchioles are filled with mucus. Depending on the potency of the allergen, a lot of mucus is produced that leads to acute bronchitis, which can lead to death if urgent measures are not taken. Less potent allergens may exhibit symptoms like coughing, watery eyes, head aches and chest pain.
